Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The three embryologically distinct germinal tissue layers form all tissues and organs: endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Quantification of these phospholipids (the L/S ratio and PG concentration) provides a predictive index of the lung maturity in the fetus before birth and the risks of the development of respira-tory distress. For example, an L/S ratio of 2 or more indicates a relatively low risk for the devel-opment of respiratory distress syndrome while an L/S ratio of less than 1.5 is associated with a high risk. Conditions that lead to reduced fetal breathing and amniotic fluid formation (oligohy-dramnios) are linked to incomplete inflation of the lung with fluid and poorly developed (hypo-plastic) lungs.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Only one in 10 cancer deaths is caused by the primary tumor. The vast majority of cancer mortality is caused by cells breaking away from the main tumor and metastasizing to other parts of the body, such as the brain, bones, or liver.
